### Educational Math Problems and Solutions

#### Problem 48
##### Finding the Area of a Parallelogram

**Question:**
Find the area of this parallelogram (\(A = bh\)).

**Diagram:**
- A parallelogram with a base (\(b\)) of 12 cm and a height (\(h\)) of 5 cm.

**Options:**
A. 65 cm²  
B. 60 cm²  
C. 48 cm²  
D. 36 cm²  

**Detailed Explanation:**
To find the area (\(A\)) of a parallelogram, you use the formula:
\[ A = b \times h \]
Given that \( b = 12 \text{ cm} \) and \( h = 5 \text{ cm} \),
\[ A = 12 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ cm} = 60 \text{ cm}² \]

The correct answer is **B. 60 cm²**.

#### Problem 49
##### Calculating the Volume of a Prism

**Question:**
What is the volume of a prism with length 9 cm, width 5 cm, and height 4 cm?

**Options:**
A. 202 cm³  
B. 180 cm³  
C. 99 cm³  
D. 81 cm³  

**Detailed Explanation:**
To calculate the volume (\(V\)) of a rectangular prism, you use the formula:
\[ V = l \times w \times h \]
Given that \( l = 9 \text{ cm} \), \( w = 5 \text{ cm} \), and \( h = 4 \text{ cm} \),
\[ V = 9 \text{ cm} \times 5 \text{ cm} \times 4 \text{ cm} = 180 \text{ cm}³ \]

The correct answer is **B. 180 cm³**.

#### Problem 50
##### Finding the Area of a Regular Polygon

**Question:**
The area formula for a regular polygon is \( \frac{1}{2}ap \). Find the area of a regular hexagon with side length of 16 cm and apothem length of 13.9 cm.

**Options:**
A. 222.4 cm²  
B. 556 cm²  
C.
